Orion Shield Project Case Study Summary

Ethics should always be the base of any engineering project. There are some instances where people, like Jerry Mason, become self-interested and forget that at the core of engineering, lies the responsibility to act with the public’s welfare in mind, above all else. The Challenger incident shows us how Jerry Mason acts contrary to the standards that the public expects professionals engineers to stand by. His sole comment to Bob Lund, “to take off your engineering hat and put on your management hat,” speaks greatly about what the Challenger meant to him. Jerry Mason viewed the launch as a business transaction that would allow him and Morton-Thiokol to benefit greatly at the midst of a contract renewal. Success brings advancement in managerial positions, but in this

Given three months to turn the plant around, Alex turns to Jonah, his old college physics professor who has become a manufacturing consultant, and enlists his help. Jonah has a unique and potentially risky approach to addressing the problems at the plant. First, he takes what can be a complicated

The Canadian Shield is a landform Region that covers almost half of Canada, including Nunavut, Quebec, Labrador, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The Canadian Shield is a landform that is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks. It has a huge boreal forest ecosystem, hence, a lot of lands in the Canadian Shield are covered with trees. Due to the amount of trees and the boreal forest ecosystem, a number of animals such as horned owls, black bears and geese liked to live in the lands of the Canadian Shield. The Canadian Shield is covered with small lakes, this makes fishing a great recreation for human to do. The letter “A”, “C”, “A”, “N”, “E” and “D” reflects the information above.

The Canadian Shield takes a massive land span of 50 percent of all of Canada.When first considering this total area,you would think that there would be many job opportunities within the Canadian Shield.Well this is not the case for the Canadian Shield.The Canadian Shield consist of three major industries.The “Forestry Industry,which primarily consist of exporting wood,the Mining Industry which consist of extracting minerals as well as the Agricultural Industry which consist of mainly Farming”.These three industries are mainly what provides most people who live in the range of the Canadian Shield a job.The “Forestry Industry” consist of mainly the exporting of wood.Canada is mainly known for its exporting of wood.A majority of all wood coming

Thank you for contacting me! I am extremely familiar with DATE and IPB in relation to DCGS-A. While stationed at Fort Bliss, I participated in the Army Warfighter Assessment -- a 30 day, multi-national training event that utilized the DATE 2.0 scenario. During this exercise, we exclusively used DCGS-A to log, assess, and deliver actionable intelligence to higher and lower echelons. I led a team in completing Brigade-level mission analysis products (PMESII-PT & ASCOPE factors, key people, enemy composition, enemy capabilities, and situation templates). I became familiar with the tactics, techniques, and procedures described and, for example, regularly overlayed doctrinal templates on 2D maps to contribute to situation templates. In creating MCOOs, I drew from motivations and assessments made from the DATE manual, and noted key terrain and possible areas of particular conflict. By

By definition, a shield is a broad piece of material used as protection against blows (Oxford Dictionary http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/shield). In Homer’s heroic epic The Illiad translated by Robert Fagles, however, a shield’s purpose extends far beyond its protective nature. Homer uses shields to characterize their owners and to indirectly reveal his ideology of war.

The Hawkeye Initiative is a project created to demonstrate and emphasize the way women are portrayed in various images today. The Hawkeye Initiative project takes many comic book images of women, and replaces the woman in the image with Hawkeye, a male, doing the exact same pose as the woman. Once we see the male doing the “sexy” pose, it begins to look absurd, foolish, and ridiculous. However, when women do these poses, they seem natural, accepted, and almost expected. The goal of this project is to demonstrate that women are viewed entirely different than men, and if we started to view both genders the same, we would notice that the way women are viewed in today’s society really is quite humorous.

Matching employees with appropriate abilities for each job, providing training in standard methods, and supporting workers by planning and eliminating interruptions is a clear representation of Taylor’s Scientific Management practice. Giving employees the opportunity to excel makes them proud, thus further increasing their performance, responsibility, integrity and ethics. This process also helps them to identify and work towards the common goal. The value of the company’s performance becomes the higher purpose that drives the entire company to succeed. As a result, in December 2007, Northrop Grumman Corporation was awarded the prestigious Ron Brown Award for Corporate Leadership, the only Presidential award recognizing companies for outstanding achievement in employee and community relations. Although, the company is made out of many divisions they work very closely together. All the departments are interdependent of one another. Northrop is a product of interaction of the parts – its departments and its participants. The collective effort and mutual reliance of this company’s members is in according with the Systems Theory and was awarded recently with the Defense Science and Technology Group Eureka Prize for Outstanding Science for Safeguarding

This position paper will address if the F-35 JSF program is worth the current investment the United States has placed into it. First the pros of the program will be presented followed by the cons. Finally, the paper will discuss why the JSF program is not worth the investment.

When considering the situation the Orion Controls faces, however, I should reconsider my decision. Orion has established its reputation in leading-edge technology, product reliability, customer relations and willingness to design customized products. For such reputation, Avion Chemicals approached to Orion and asked them to develop a new valve

BAL developed capabilities in the areas of space and communications, site management and the upgrade and maintenance of military aircraft and equipment. As BAL grew, it faced difficult decisions how to improve or upgrade its procurement system and process to meet its customers’ requirement, especially its major customer the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

o There is only a 10% chance the entire project will fail; therefore, Orion should take the risk in developing the product.
